I don't care if it was Lotus-only swift play game mode but why have they gone away from releasing the new map in a standalone queue so people who want to learn the new map can do so without doing swift play roulette hoping they get the 1 in...

So I am in my collections and I am trying to find my ranked gun buddy from last episode, but it isn't showing up. Does it take a while or do I have to play a ranked match? Last episode was my first one, so I'm kind of ignorant on it.
